I ran my dd test with the latest xen bits, checked out today. The result
is:
dd test all by itself: best run 1.93s
dd test with another domain running an infinite loop: best run 2.5s

Well this is certainly much better than the 8s it was taking before, but
it's still giving up more than 25% in performance.
